[@joehernandez5600]

Eric is the real f’in deal. Amazing sense of phrasing mixed with the upside approach makes him the most unique blues player out there today IMO.

[@lucianmunteanu8751]

Și mâinile lui Gary Moore 🙏🤗...RIP Gary Moore...

[@DroogMonkey]

I'd never heard of Josh Smith. What a friggin monster. And Eric Gales is his usual incredible self. Great video.

[@bluzzedude8111]

4o yrs playing Blues and I NEVER heard of Eric Gales until about two months ago..so many out there but I'm so glad I did..what a player ! Another upside down Albert King type of player ! I also like "You ain't the boss of me" which, is the song he was playing when I first heard him on Sirius.

[@LUckybones25]

Yea, they are both freakin amazing!

[@seanfitzpatrick7878]

This video was my introduction to Josh Smith a few years ago. I knew about Eric at that point but not Josh. I remember thinking to myself, "who does this cowboy think he is?". Lmao!! Just a few seconds into the tradeoff portion and... well you know what happened.

[@jamesjohnson1522]

Both of these gentlemen are two of the best.

[@bentul7422]

@@seanfitzpatrick7878 he is the boss

[@Gianluca.3]

... Eric "Epic" Gales! So amazing... unattainable, incomparable! I really like his visceral style

[@weika1000]

RESPECTFUL interaction of great artists, one of the most beautiful things that can happen....

[@thomvogan3397]

I've seen a lot of awesome players jam together but I don't think I've ever seen two players enjoy it so much. Brilliant

[@kikihskye]

I would love to hear you play again.

[@f4yr2p]

what about robben ford and larry carlton?

[@davidphilipsmusic]

When Josh pulls out those fast country runs and Eric goes "aaagghhh!!" so much fun!!

[@yvonnelaurenty6427]

Just his natural, spontaneous responses to beautiful phrases, his and other's. Love it.

[@skittlesstarburst4532]

What country... that was all blues bud.

[@alward5678]

Josh is the total package. Like his feel, note choice, in and out playing, tone, and singing, and the whole enchilada..

[@missmoke007thebestmusicvideos]

Josh is great!! Such a fantastic player!

[@bluzzedude8111]

I've been looking for the perfect slow blues song to record and I think I found it. I'm really glad you put this on !

[@bzlax]

This is amazing!! Been a fan of Gales for a while now I have to look up Josh Smith this guy is an animal! i would pay to see this!!

[@missmoke007thebestmusicvideos]

billy bones getting ready to put up some more footage of Josh soon 😀

[@bzlax]

that's great news...i'm part of a large artist/musician collective I'm def gonna spread the news & share these videos...keep 'em comin'!!

[@bmass520]

Josh is out of S. Florida. We started watching him when he was amazing at about 15 and playing lots of Stevie Ray and Jimi which is what everyone wanted. He had long wavy blonde hair and a Stevie Ray hat. When he graduated high school he leaned more toward the rock trio and started writing and touring.

[@roderickgardner3483]

Both of these gentlemen are very talented!!! What an amazing collaboration of talents to enjoy each other skills and get along well! This is the American way and America I want to live in!!!! Outstanding!!!

[@Dante3085]

Me: 1. Wow, this is amazing 2. Damn, I guess I'll finally stop playing guitar... Both start going together 3. FUUUUUUUUCK, that was soo inspirational, I guess I keep playin'

[@matthewhorizon6050]

The rollercoaster ride of bsing a guitarist.

[@west4coast77]

Wowzer! Josh and Eric sure know how to share a musical conversation. Epic! Kudos to Jaydon and Nick for the solid foundation. Thanks for sharing.

[@bluesborn]

Gales man. Just when you think you've heard it all he slides it into an extra gear and leaves you standing there with your jawbone on your belly button.

[@TheAlbiCollier]

Didbnt expect him to jimp on that chi9cken picking phrasing and yet keep inside his own side of the blues! Brilliant execution!

[@allan775]

Gales is a beast. Check out the Eric gales Dunlop sessions video at 12:10 is one wicked solo

[@yvonnelaurenty6427]

Agree with all. I suspect some folks may object to what they think is his showboating. I just see it as the way he moves when pulling off all those amazing executions. It's just the way he grooves.

[@soerenguitarlessons9947]

Eric Gales is a natural force. No filter. Amazing

[@joezappia817]

Now that’s a cruise that I would of loved to be on, hopefully there will another in the future. Long live the blues anywhere, anytime all the time.

[@clausmadsen6754]

Josh Smith the accomplished technician, never hitting a wrong note, Gales the crazy wild force, hitting a few misses, but then also the one happening on pure genius regularly

[@r4microds]

Ending each phrase with a "AH" is now the coolest thing i've heard all year. I loveitt!

[@DialToneTP]

When the music feels too good to you, it sounds like this!!!!

[@fburtt]

I don't think I've ever seen 2 players have a better time: they're loving it and killing it!

[@dankress8228]

Damn! Eric Gales plays like he is possessed!!!!🎸🎸

[@navocande636]

This guy’s make me feel so good

[@Ashgrove17]

Have to go here for my blues fix. Two of the best in the business. What a buzz.

[@sawdust6968]

As a player listening to these 2 play will "KILL OR CURE" you as a guitarist.

[@PaulinTaegu]

It's rare to see two players that can pick up the others phrase and complete it and you can't tell where one left off and the other began.

[@Knight14649]

PaulinTaegu --Greg Koch is another superb player who jams with both of these two guys at the NAMM shows. And they have a hard time keeping up with him and his odd phrasing of notes.

[@JDWH]

especially because eric is playing upside down!

[@jjohn341]

Truly can't get any better than this, masterpiece.

[@allanpolk2681]

Never saw this vid of Josh and Eric cutin heads until tonight. Big fan of both of them. A ton of blues talent on the stage here.

[@sholland42]

Damn. That conversation between them at the end is truly outstanding.

[@yogiguitar1]

a real treat for your ears man!

[@Richard-vu7kh]

HOLEY MOLY !....Just been enjoying the early guitar dudes...names from the ‘60’s and ‘70’s - great stuff. Smith and Gales are a whole other dimension - fantastic ! Thanks for this upload - killer blues !

[@johncolic2269]

There is Eric Gales, and there are all these amazing players, caught in his orbit. Like Jimi, he is tuned in to that magic frequency.

[@BuonGiorno67]

Thank you Linda !!!! Amazing quality and great music... Kenneth..

[@ramsfire]

Talk about "Cuttin' Haids".....these two are on their way to the Pantheon of Master Axemen that have passed through this Dimension. Respect.

[@bazjanagain]

Great playing. They seem to have a lot of love fore each other's skills. Who gave this thumbs down ?

[@mongrel8074]

Someone who never picked up a plugged-in six-string.

[@bazjanagain]

only explanation. thanks for your reply

[@gmlasam]

Someone who is a justin's beaver, and kanye west fan boy.

[@carlocaroni]

missmoke007,i've never heard of these guys before today,such a great beginning for 2017!thank you for posting this video and wish you the best

[@PhilipBullaert]

Perfect

[@monsterjoejcm]

Both best guitar players, amazing

[@jelopezandthegrips]

Truly something to aspire to. Thanks so much for uploading this gem!

[@treborin]

Wooowww. Looove this. Please repeat!!!! Modern blues is here.....

[@gethinrees1]

I admire Nick Campbell so much as a bass player. He's an incredible player, a soloist in his own right, but backs up the artist without trying to steal the limelight.

[@66Olli]

Thx for this great moment....

[@joshmuz9018]

Love the way gales whole head,body moves while he plays, that only happens to a man whose whole soul is leaking music out through his cells and they all moving as one.

[@suziebernardmann1803]

Have you ever heard better slow blues? I wish they would record an album together! These two blues brothers are unique and just fantastic! Best jam I’ve heard. ❤️

[@jonathanwentor]

[@londonuk70]

Eric Gales = Blues Master, period.

[@paulsmith6381]

[@mickbrenton]

Man that was simply Mind Blowing!!!!

[@robertparker4620]

Eric Gales knowledge of that fretboard and his CHORD work. . . in addition to his incredible soloing ability....is simply amazing!!. Not to take anything away from Josh Smith. Josh on the otherhand has incredible control and tone. Decent voice too. This was one of the best slow blues jam on YT..fer sure~!

[@brianfowler3197]

Robert Parker look at his axe who does remind you of jimmi had hid axe upside down too

[@brianfowler3197]

Everyone look at Erics axe he has his just like jimmi h
